"We did a good job of executing," said White-McCarty. "Once we started
hitting our layups, our outside shots began to fall. We started out a little
slow, but our defense picked us up."

The Boilermakers (13-1, 5-0 Big Ten) set a school record for consecutive
wins in a season.

Michigan State (8-7, 2-3) lost to the Boilermakers for the 10th time in 11
meetings. The Spartans haven't won in West Lafayette since 1988.

Pernille Dalgaard led Michigan State with 13 points.

Purdue closed the first half with a 21-4 run to take a 41-27 lead at the
break. Michigan State committed 10 turnovers during the decisive spurt.

The Spartans never got closer than 11 points in the second half and had 26
turnovers in the game.

Dalgaard's 3-pointer put Michigan State ahead 23-20 in the first half, but
Purdue then scored eight straight points. After Michigan State's Becky Cummings
hit two free throws, the Boilermakers responded a 9-0 run that included six
points by White-McCarty.
